Chongo - You didn't seem to mind when you were making the scene with Darla. What changed your mind?
SRS - I don't buy the opinion that this is an 'American Indian' point of view. I know plenty of human beings that have the same point of view and no Native ancestry. You don't have to be Native to believe that worshipping trees makes more sense than worshipping the multicoloured Jesus. Nor is it entirely Native to believe that European Christians slaughtered thousands in the Americas and elsewhere.
I also do not agree that the child and her uncle Aboriginal. Lots of people have dark hair and eyes. I did not associate this video with Native Americans in any way. I wish they would start using the media more to get their point of view accross but I think its a big leap to call this an Indian point of view.
